Discipline and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts are the two outstanding ones, but more are very very good, like This Heat, Kraftwerk, Eskaton, Eros, Eloy, Art Zoyd, Art Bears. I also miss Nude.

Voted for five:
Rush Metheny/Mays Kultivator
Eider Stellaire Dun although I probably should have voted Eskaton there. Could have voted ten and I love the 80's especially 1980 one of my all time favourite years for music. And the Avant and Zeuhl alone make the 80's very valuable. |

I’m with you on the utility and worth of RYM. This is the only forum where I post, and really I am at PA for the forum. I use their charts frequently. I have discovered much excellent music through it and it does end up seeming to align much more with my tastes. I find that people there commonly seem to focus more on art music, experimental, innovative and truly progressive albums than here with its strong melodic prog rock base (like Neo Prog is much more popular here). And there is much that I love that isn’t Prog.
Lots I love from the list, and I would post all my favourites were I not having such difficulty typing on this phone. Today I do go with This Heat over traditional faves such as Eskaton, Dun, Kultivator, Art Zoyd, Kraftwerk, The Residents, Eider Stellaire, Art Bears and more. Maybe because my region has been experiencing an early heat wave and I’m waiting in a baking hot car right now, This Heat seems very apt to my situation and global warming generally. Luckily it’s three, so I also am voting for Eskaton and Dun. Edited by Logan - May 20 2023 at 14:38 |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Some seem to think that the early 1980's were awful years for prog, but think it's packed with great albums. As someone who also love synthpop, new wave and all that stuff - it's an exceptional period for music in general. For me this poll is just as packed with classics as any year in the 1970's. Well, almost. I know I post a lot of RYM* this and RYM that. But while PA has by far my preferred forum for music discussion, I find RYM superior in almost every other aspect. Such as: -Album genres instead of one genre to represent a band or an artist's whole career is obviously more useful, correct and informative. -Their algorithms seem to better reflect an albums actual (relative) populariy. -I like to rate using half stars (which basically is a 1-10 ratingsystem) -and that everyone's opinion while rating or reviewing is worth the exact same -Their charts are easier to make use of and appear to make more logical sense... -Plus I just seem to find an "all music" site's tastes in prog, more agreeable than the tastes in prog on a progsite. - Btw: Univers Zero - Ceux Du Dehors is listed as a 1982 album on RYM (where it would be fifth in a similar chart/list for that year). Appearently the record was finished in January 1981, but not actually released until the 30th of January the year after. *as in Rate Your Music Edited by Saperlipopette! - May 21 2023 at 20:10 |
